Noel Hodgson

Noel Hodgson is a Northumbrian poet and writer. From a farming family, Noel taught P.E. and Drama in Glendale School, Wooler, for thirty five years. Semi-retired, Noel continues to teach P.E. part time in schools in and around Berwick-upon-Tweed. A keen sportsman himself, Noel ran Keep Fit Classes, for men and ladies, in Wooler, for almost forty years.

His poetry books, 'Below Flodden', 'Dancing over Cheviot' and 'A Grand Land' celebrate the countryside, the people, events and history of his homeland.

Noel's historical novel, entitled 'Heron's Flight' is based upon the Battle of Flodden, 1513.

Since then, his two Western stories – 'Tom's Trail' and 'The Medallion' are also sold on Amazon.

His latest work is a manual on Teaching Gymnastics and Movement in Primary Schools.
